Help using Polaris with PlusToolkit

arterialflow opened this issue · 0 comments

Hopefully you can help me again!.
I am using a Polaris/control unit taken from Stealth S7 and a USB FTDI RS-422. The nav system initializes when I first run these apps installed in Windows but apps do not show tracking. Would I need to do some sort of factory reset on this Polaris?

NDI Capture/Track app shows "connected" but I am unable to 'load wireless Tool' as this option is grayed out.

fCal initialize Polaris controller and says Connection Successful! but also says Ref/Stylus/Tool to track is missing when rom file is linked in xml. Is the black window on right a tracking/camera window?

Connection successful!
Broadcasting tool tracking data through OpenIGTLink
For NDI Polaris passive marker starting kit: Tool (APPLE01), Tool (8700339), Stylus (8700340), Reference (8700449)

Unfortunately no tracking. I am using a 3D printed tool/rom file (Apple01, loaded in NDItool directory) downloaded from github
(https://github.com/I-STAR/DRF/blob/main/ROM_Files/APPLE/APPLE01.rom supposedly similar to NDI reference tool (#8700339).
changes I made are as follows:
<Device
Id="TrackerDevice"
Type="PolarisTracker"
SerialPort="-1"
BaudRate="115200"
AcquisitionRate="50"
LocalTimeOffsetSec="0.0"

  ToolReferenceFrame="Tracker" >
  <DataSources>
    <DataSource Type="Tool" Id="Tool" RomFile="NdiToolDefinitions/APPLE01.rom"  />
    <DataSource Type="Tool" Id="Tool" RomFile="NdiToolDefinitions/8700339.rom"  />
    <DataSource Type="Tool" Id="Stylus" RomFile="NdiToolDefinitions/8700340.rom"  />
    <DataSource Type="Tool" Id="Reference" RomFile="NdiToolDefinitions/8700449.rom"  />

thanks
